These are the problems I envisage with your box. a) The single disk debian (potato) in Jun or Jul Chip last year, has just about basic installs, and a few apps.You need to get at least the 3 CD set for a start. It will be some time before you can debianise a developers tar- ball for your box. b) Your graphic card is not supported by kernel 2.2.14 on the chip CD. The rest of your h/w is swinging. c) I think you may be able to run non-gui apps under this kernel. Do a basic install, with just about the ability to connect to the net. Change apt sources to woody and the first thing would be to get a 2.4.xx kernel from debian, and configure your graphic card. Then do a dist upgrade and switch totally to the newer woody. You need to read the docs for apt-get to understand this para .. Not much help, but some pointer anyway ...
